Directions

1
Peel onions and garlic. Chop onions finely and chop garlic finely. Heat oil in a pot. Sauté onions and garlic in it. Add frozen spinach and about 2 tbsp. water. Cover and allow to defrost at medium heat for 16-18 minutes, stirring from time to time.
2
In the meantime let the filo pastry rest for 10 minutes at room temperature. Wash parsley, shake dry and chop coarsely. Crumble the feta. Melt butter.
3
Drain the spinach and squeeze a little. Mix with parsley, feta, breadcrumbs, milk and whole eggs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
Grease a springform pan (approx. 26 cm Ø) and dust with flour. Roll out the dough and place 2 pastry sheets in the form so that the sheets hang over the edge of the form. Brush the dough with butter.
5
Place 4 more leaves on top and spread with butter.
6
Preheat oven (electric cooker: 175°C/circulating air: 150°C/gas: level 2). Pour the spinach mixture into the mould, place the excess dough over the spinach. Place the rest of the dough sheets on top, brushing each with butter.
7
Fold the protruding dough towards the middle and press it down. Bake in a hot oven for 25-30 minutes. Whisk the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of water. Spread the top of the dough after about 20 minutes, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Eat hot or cold.
